DRASTIC CLOSING
ORDER ISSUED
The daily papers of Thnrsday re¬ port that an order has been issued, or will be issued from Washington closing all places of basiness and pleasure with certain exceptions, from Friday of this week to Tuesdsy of next week, inclusive, and each Monday thereafter for the balance of January, and all of Febroary and March.
- It is impossible to comprehend the sense of the order at this writing, beyond the fact that it is claimed that it will save eoal and possibly will in some cases, although it will in many other caaes throw many out of work and cause seemingly unnecessary hardship.
So far as the Nassau County Re¬ view is concerned, we will obey all orders so far as they come to our knowledge, to the very letter, as vrill all good citizens, hewever absujrd the provision may now seem. We are allowed to print our paper and regn¬ lar weekly or monthly magazines, bat cannot, if the administration docs not change its mind overnight, handle any more so-called commer¬ cial printing before next Wednesday moming, beyond taking orders sub¬ ject to possibility of getting them oue when the restriction is removed if it is before that time.
There is at this time a big ques¬ tion as to the effect on churches, lo¬ cal club houses, schools, fraternal or¬ ganizations, etc., but the order is sprung so quickly that it is impossi¬ ble to report what action will be tak¬ an by those in authority.

CHILD BURNED AS HOME IS DESIROYED
Startled by the screaming of their fifteen-months-old baby daughter who had been put to sleep in a room up¬ stairs, just as they prepared for lunch last Friday, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Gerry ran upstairs to find the room where tho little one was sleep¬ ing in flames, and the bedclothes buming. Although quite badly scorched in doing so, the father car ried the baby to safety at the home of a neighbor and called the fire de¬ partment. Due to lack of adequate Are alarm facilities, the firemen were unable to obtain the exact location of the blaze, and after being delayed in leaving their houses, finally answered at the district being* sounded, wheje they again waited for information, which was not obtained until fire wns seen coming from a house two blocks away, so that when they arrived, a stubborn fire was found, and consid¬ erable damage done. "The building was owned by Pumell White, nrd the damage to bui ding and conter.ts i; estimated by Chief Randall at $700, partly covered by insurance.
The injured child was taken to the office of Dr. Fletcher, where she was found to be painfully, although not seriously, bumed about the head and neck.

The storm of last Saturday mom¬ ing caused dams in each of the chain of ponds east of this village to give away. The water collected at the railroad embankment near the Wan¬ tagh pumping station and rose rap¬ id'y until it overflowed the tracks. The force of the rushing water washed away the roadbed and all trains were held up from one until after three j'olock. A repair gang was put at work and made temporary repairs to the westbound track and this was ised by trains going in both direc¬ tions until Sunday moming, when the other track was also repaired and traffic resumed normal conditions.

General Pershing Endorses Red Cross
Io response to a request from the Red Cross War Council for spe<?ific advice from General PersLing'B Medical Staff in France as to whether the Red Cross appropriation of |100,000 for medical research was con¬ tributing tow^ard the relief of human suffering, the fol¬ lowing cablegram has been received:
"We believe the Red Cross has properly expended the funds because it is the duty of the Red Cross to care for sick and wounded American soldiers and to use funds to prevent those soldiers from being infected with the various diseases met with in their peculiar army life.
"There are several diseases the exact nature of which is still undetermined as they are new and pecul¬ iar to this war and must be studied now to aid our tr^ps. We stand on the principal^ that Red Cross funds sliould back such work rather tlran secure special funds for that purpose.
"The Medical Department of the United States Army is in full accord with all the Red Cross is doing in this regard. It is co-operating and asHiNting in every way in research matters and is counting upon our help in this regard. It h&s asked the Re<i Cross to help it- study the many problems of preveptive medicines and of medical and surgical dieeaaes against which the Array Medical Corps must struggle.
"The Research Committee assists the Red Cross in the management of its funds and its experiments and controls the type and kind of experimentation. Tbe Research Committee whose name you have controls ful¬ ly its research work against which the anti-vivisectioia- ists are protesting. English medical authorities arie' vigorously co-operating with the Red Cross in research work.
"We feel that anyone endeavoring to stop the Red Cross from assisting in its humanitorian and humane desire to prevent American soldiers from being diseased and protecting them by solving the peculiar new prt>b- lems of disease, with which the army is confronted, is in reality giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
"Reseai-ch work so far undertaken includes studies on anasthesia, shell-shock and trench fever, which last will be the main line of investigation this Winter. We are also investigating trench nephritis and foot wound infections, including gas gangrene and tetanus. The animals used are principally guinea pigs, rabbits and white rats. If operations causing pain to animals are performed, anasthesia is used. Actually, very few ani¬ mals have been used in this work."
The cablegram is signed by the following medical officers in General Pershing's array: Colonel F. A. Winter, Major .1. A. Blake, Major R. P. Strong, Cap¬ tain Kenneth R. Taylor, Major Alexander Lambert, Lieutenant Colonel .1. F. Silfer, Colonel M. W. Ireland, Major William J. Ealer, Li^ut.(?nant E. T.

The appeal in the case of Raynor against the New York A L. I.

This case has been before the courta now for sev¬ eral years, the Railvmy Company winning in both the Appellate Divis¬ ion and the Court of Appeals. On the moming of May 1, 1913, Miss Lucy Raynor boarded a car of the Rai'way Company at Milbum Avenue, Bald¬ win, to go to her place of employ¬ ment at Doubleday, Page A Com¬ pany's at Garden City.

The trolley company promptly appealed to the Appellate Division, which reversed judgment of the Coan¬ ty Court and decided that the two franchises were absolutely separata and distinct; that the rate of fare weat of Freeport is controlled by the fran¬ chise for the line west of Freeport and that the rate of fare between Freeport and Mineola was controlled by the franchise for that route.

DRASTIC CLOSING
ORDER ISSUED
The daily papers of Thnrsday re¬ port that an order has been issued, or will be issued from Washington closing all places of basiness and pleasure with certain exceptions, from Friday of this week to Tuesdsy of next week, inclusive, and each Monday thereafter for the balance of January, and all of Febroary and March.
- It is impossible to comprehend the sense of the order at this writing, beyond the fact that it is claimed that it will save eoal and possibly will in some cases, although it will in many other caaes throw many out of work and cause seemingly unnecessary hardship.
So far as the Nassau County Re¬ view is concerned, we will obey all orders so far as they come to our knowledge, to the very letter, as vrill all good citizens, hewever absujrd the provision may now seem. We are allowed to print our paper and regn¬ lar weekly or monthly magazines, bat cannot, if the administration docs not change its mind overnight, handle any more so-called commer¬ cial printing before next Wednesday moming, beyond taking orders sub¬ ject to possibility of getting them oue when the restriction is removed if it is before that time.
There is at this time a big ques¬ tion as to the effect on churches, lo¬ cal club houses, schools, fraternal or¬ ganizations, etc., but the order is sprung so quickly that it is impossi¬ ble to report what action will be tak¬ an by those in authority.

CHILD BURNED AS HOME IS DESIROYED
Startled by the screaming of their fifteen-months-old baby daughter who had been put to sleep in a room up¬ stairs, just as they prepared for lunch last Friday, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Gerry ran upstairs to find the room where tho little one was sleep¬ ing in flames, and the bedclothes buming. Although quite badly scorched in doing so, the father car ried the baby to safety at the home of a neighbor and called the fire de¬ partment. Due to lack of adequate Are alarm facilities, the firemen were unable to obtain the exact location of the blaze, and after being delayed in leaving their houses, finally answered at the district being* sounded, wheje they again waited for information, which was not obtained until fire wns seen coming from a house two blocks away, so that when they arrived, a stubborn fire was found, and consid¬ erable damage done. "The building was owned by Pumell White, nrd the damage to bui ding and conter.ts i; estimated by Chief Randall at $700, partly covered by insurance.
The injured child was taken to the office of Dr. Fletcher, where she was found to be painfully, although not seriously, bumed about the head and neck.

The storm of last Saturday mom¬ ing caused dams in each of the chain of ponds east of this village to give away. The water collected at the railroad embankment near the Wan¬ tagh pumping station and rose rap¬ id'y until it overflowed the tracks. The force of the rushing water washed away the roadbed and all trains were held up from one until after three j'olock. A repair gang was put at work and made temporary repairs to the westbound track and this was ised by trains going in both direc¬ tions until Sunday moming, when the other track was also repaired and traffic resumed normal conditions.

General Pershing Endorses Red Cross
Io response to a request from the Red Cross War Council for speb- lems of disease, with which the army is confronted, is in reality giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
"Reseai-ch work so far undertaken includes studies on anasthesia, shell-shock and trench fever, which last will be the main line of investigation this Winter. We are also investigating trench nephritis and foot wound infections, including gas gangrene and tetanus. The animals used are principally guinea pigs, rabbits and white rats. If operations causing pain to animals are performed, anasthesia is used. Actually, very few ani¬ mals have been used in this work."
The cablegram is signed by the following medical officers in General Pershing's array: Colonel F. A. Winter, Major .1. A. Blake, Major R. P. Strong, Cap¬ tain Kenneth R.

The appeal in the case of Raynor against the New York A L. I. Trac¬ tion Company to the Court of Ap¬ peals has been decided in favor of the railway, company against Miss Raynor with costo to the railway com¬ pany in all the courU. This case has been before the courta now for sev¬ eral years, the Railvmy Company winning in both the Appellate Divis¬ ion and the Court of Appeals. On the moming of May 1, 1913, Miss Lucy Raynor boarded a car of the Rai'way Company at Milbum Avenue, Bald¬ win, to go to her place of employ¬ ment at Doubleday, Page A Com¬ pany's at Garden City.

The trolley company promptly appealed to the Appellate Division, which reversed judgment of the Coan¬ ty Court and decided that the two franchises were absolutely separata and distinct; that the rate of fare weat of Freeport is controlled by the fran¬ chise for the line west of Freeport and that the rate of fare between Freeport and Mineola was controlled by the franchise for that route.
